Luo Mai
Assistant Professor
University of Edinburgh
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, where I lead the Large-Scale Machine Learning Systems Group and co-lead the UK EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Machine Learning Systems.
My research aims to design and implement scalable, efficient, and reliable computer systems. My work has been recognized at major conferences such as OSDI, SOSP, NSDI, USENIX ATC, CoNEXT, JMLR, ICML, NeurIPS, ECCV, and VLDB, earning awards from Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, and Tencent. I am the author of the open-source textbook Machine Learning Systems: Design and Implementation and co-founder of several popular open-source projects, including TensorLayer, TorchOpt, and ServerlessLLM.
Before joining Edinburgh, I was a research associate at Imperial College London, working with Peter Pietzuch and a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research. My PhD, supervised by Paolo Costa and Alexander L. Wolf, was supported by a Google Fellowship in Cloud Computing.
